A Great Day in Harlem, 1958, Art KaneWithout a doubt, it’s the most famous jazz artists picture of all time. There were 57 jazz musicians who gathered together on the steps of a Harlem brownstone early in the morning of August 12, 1958 to commemorate the history of jazz. Also significant that morning were the jazz artists who were missing: Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis, Duke Ellington, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald John Coltrane and Bill Evans.Nevertheless, those giants of jazz artists absent, there presence was felt. It was represented by the present-and-accounted-for who played with them and who were inspired by their greatness, and likewise inspired the greats. Like a family reunion, if you weren’t physically there, you were there in spirit.www.gregtivis.com/articles/Jazz-Artists-Harlem.phpRelated story:It Was ‘A Great Day in Harlem,’ But Where Was Miles Davis?bit.ly/3aXOxgbMusicians in the photograph (Benny Golson, 92, and Sonny Rollins, 90, are the only survivors):Red AllenBuster BaileyCount BasieEmmett BerryArt BlakeyLawrence BrownScoville BrowneBuck ClaytonBill CrumpVic DickensonRoy EldridgeArt FarmerBud FreemanDizzy GillespieTyree GlennBenny GolsonSonny GreerJohnny GriffinGigi GryceColeman HawkinsJ.C.
